What Documents Are Required for a Driver's License Physical Examination?

A driver's license physical examination requires an ID card and the examination fee. You will need to fill out forms during the examination. Nowadays, a single ID is sufficient for obtaining a driver's license, so bringing your ID card is all you need for the physical examination. Generally, after paying the tuition fee, the driving school will record your facial information, or you may need to submit a recent one-inch, white-background, color, bareheaded, front-facing photo taken within the last six months. If your facial information was recorded at that time, you won't need to bring additional photos for the physical examination. Additionally, some locations also record facial information during the examination, which is then used as the photo on the examination form, so simply bringing your ID card is sufficient. Physical examination requirements for a driver's license: For a C1 or lower-class license, the height requirement is at least 150 cm, while for a C1 or higher-class license, it's at least 155 cm. Weight is also checked, though the requirement is generally not strict, and you can fill it in directly after the examination. The examination checks for any motor function impairments in the limbs, torso, neck, and other movement-related areas. It also verifies whether both thumbs are intact and whether each hand has at least three fully functional fingers. For a C1 or lower-class license, the vision requirement is at least 4.9, while for a C1 or higher-class license, it's at least 5.0. If you have monocular vision impairment, you can apply for a C1 or lower-class license if the other eye has a vision of at least 5.0 and a horizontal field of vision of at least 150 degrees.
I remember needing to prepare a few things for the driver's license medical examination. You must bring a valid identification document, such as an ID card or passport, as this is a basic requirement. Also, prepare several recent 1-inch bareheaded photos, usually with a white background, for making the driver's license. The medical examination fee is around 100 yuan, and it's advisable to bring cash or a bank card, as the specific cost may vary by location. The examination includes a vision test (wear glasses or contact lenses and adjust them in advance), a hearing check, blood pressure measurement, and a brief health questionnaire. The entire process takes less than half an hour. I prefer to make an appointment in advance to reduce waiting time, as it can take longer when it's crowded. It's best to bring your old driver's license if you're renewing it. Finally, a reminder: the purpose of the medical examination is to ensure driving safety, and if your vision or health is not up to standard, you may need a re-examination, so make sure to get enough sleep before going.
